WATTS'S LYRICS. ETERNAL power! whose high abode Becomes the grandeur of a God; Infinite length beyond the bounds Where stars revolve their little rounds. 2 The lowest step beneath thy seat 4 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? 5 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 26 8.7. Ebenezer, or grateful praise. ROBINSON. 1 COME, thou fount of every blessing! 2 Here I raise my Eben-Ezer, Jesus sought me, when a stranger, 3 0! to grace how great a debtor 27 L. M. Universal Praise. PARNELL. 1 THE sun that walks his airy way, To light the world, and give the day; The moon that shines with borrow'd light, The stars that gild the gloomy night; 2 The seas that roll unnumber'd waves, 3 The whole of these, and all I see, Ought to be sung, and sung by me: They speak their maker as they can, But want and ask, the tongue of man. 28 L. M. Universal Praise. HARMONIA SACRA. 1 PRAISE to the God who arch'd the sky, Is the high note that wakes my tongue : Praise to the God who reigns on high, 2 Celestial worlds your Maker's name 3 Angels that his commission bear, Monarchs, who hold imperial sway, Let youth of ev'ry sex and rank, Their God for all his blessings thank, 3 Hoary in holiness, the sage, With grateful songs should meet his death And infants in their tender age, Should lisp their God with joyful breath. From clime to clime, from shore to shore, Be the Almighty God ador'd; He made the nations by his pow'r, And sways them with his sov'reign word, 8 At once, let nature's ample round, To God the vast thanksgiving raise; His high perfection knows no bound, But fills th' immensity of space. INCARNATION OF CHRIST. 29 7's. Christmas Advent. HARK! the herald angels sing, BOYCE |
